I thought it was your booth since the paintings look, at first glance, like some of your lovely land and sky-scapes.
The canopy I bought was pretty much the same as the one in the photo. It doesn't have side walls though I wish I had bought some to cut down on wind. Costco had a 10' x 10' booth-type canopy with walls this spring for about $200. Mine was almost that much from a sporting goods store, without walls, last year. Buy one that is all white with no manufacturers logos or writing on it. Many art shows are picky about this.
I put the paintings on very inexpensive wooden display easels I bought from ASW. I will wire the paintings to the easels and stake the easels to the ground to keep them more stable in case of wind. (If it gets too windy, I'll just take them down, of course.)
My booth location last year was kind of out in the open, visible from three sides (which was good for attracting customers). Because of that, I clustered the paintings in the middle, facing outward.
I take the paintings and anything else of value down each evening but leave my canopy and card table in place. There is security of a sort but I still wouldn't leave my paintings there. I may leave the display easels there overnight this year. It's a pain to do the set up and take down twice, but I wouldn't sleep if I left it all in place overnight.
